Blake River Megacaldera Complex

Article(s): Blake River Megacaldera Complex
Request: The article could use some graphics as I plain to start improving the article for GA or even FA. There is five graphics here on page 77 that would be useful to show how the volcano formed. Figure 8 on page 72 would be good to illustrate the volcano's structure. Volcanoguy 07:29, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): All graphics mentioned inside the pdf file are bitmaps, so SVG extracting is not possible. Taking them as png is pretty easy, do those images have any copyright problem? If not I will be happy to help Ufo karadagli (talk) 21:36, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
- The content is copyrighted as far as I'm aware of. I might not be getting the picture, but the graphics in the pdf file should still be possible to extract. A way to extract them is by pressing F3 on the keyboard while looking at the pdf file graphic then paste that part of the pdf file on Microsoft paint or whatever else there is. It's not possible to start it that way? Volcanoguy 22:24, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
- That was what I meant by taking them as PNG. Then tracing must be done to create the SVG version. Real problem is the copyright. As far as I know fair-use is not applicable here we need permission. Ufo karadagli (talk) 04:16, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Revectorization of a flag!

Article(s): Only Unity Saves the Serbs
Request: In need of re-vectorization,cause it is easy to put a border around it Please check your commons talk page for the request i made Drax90 (talk) 14:30, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s): What exactly is the problem with this one? It seems to be small enough in size. NikNaks talk - gallery 12:11, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- In future, feel free to reply in this section so it is visible. I don't understand why the border template is relevant. Does this flag need a border for it to be correct? NikNaks talk - gallery 16:05, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- I think maybe s/he wants a border around the flag to be part of the file, because of the white stripe, instead of having to place the border manually every time using a template? I'm just guessing?... But uploaded images shouldn't have borders, so... Yeah, I don't know. -MissMJ (talk) 21:31, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
- I can't see anything wrong with this flag. The only think I can think of is maybe they want the four "C"s to be redesigned. Fry1989 (talk) 21:54, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Request for "Armenian dram" currency sign (typography)
-
Armenian dram sign
Article(s): See Armenian dram sign, Armenian dram, Currency sign
Request: Could someone create the "Armenian dram" currency sign?
Backgrounds
- Clearly, it is a typographic character. It is not in Unicode (has no Unicode ID).
- Armenian dram sign says: The graphics of the symbol is based on the shape of the first letter of Armenian word "դրամ" (money, pronounced as "dram"). This points to U+0564 դ ARMENIAN SMALL LETTER DA, or the upper case variant U+0534 Դ ARMENIAN CAPITAL LETTER DA. Main feature is the double stroke.
- Design considerations, sketches and current usages (e.g. on banknotes) are provided in WP articles mentioned.
- Currently, as an approaching image, a lookalike character is used, U+0534 Դ ARMENIAN CAPITAL LETTER DA.
- Example, another currency sign by file only, not in font (yet):
(Image:Indian rupee sign.svg).
- Suggested name: since it is a currency sign, I suggest the filename to be "Armenian dram sign" (plus extension as appropriate). The word "dram" should be lowercase as it is a currency name.

Graphist opinion(s): Is this correct? – ∃ Aditya 7 ¦ 15:31, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you. Well, clearly the left parts of the double bar are cut off (missing). We could take that as a designers freedom (OK then). If a typographer, or an Armenian state writing guarding policeman, says it's not done, we should decline (not OK then). I say: OK, let's use it. It sure is better than the replacement alphabetic letter. If copyrights are OK, then upload it. -DePiep (talk) 15:46, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Request: Make table stand out from the page, look more like a graphic or a table in Powerpoint. Note, the article this would help is in FAC right now. I would put this image at the very beginning of the body text. The Background and Development sections are pretty dry and confusing with all the plane types and with the discussion in a narrative, that includes name changes of the designs. I think a basic graphic, centered, at the start of that section would give the reader a little bit of a refuge if he gets confused about all the different planes and their names. My preference would be to keep it as a table, for editability, but add some formatting somehow, but it would not kill me to just convert it to an image.TCO (talk) 03:18, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
Done Okay, how's this? P.S.: Minor nitpick, but it'd be great if we didn't assume that the reader of an article is male ("if he gets confused"). Women read Wikipedia too. *waves* :) -MissMJ (talk) 05:03, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
- If you want it as an editable SVG image, how about this? Image will help avoid the clutter of a table. – ∃ Aditya 7 ¦ 05:18, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think making tables an image (SVG or otherwise) is a good approach to take. Firstly, although SVGs are editable, your average editor probably wouldn't know how to go about it, which will lead to a million edit and translation requests over here. Tables are much more easy to edit, and for translation purposes, can be just copy pasted with the contents changed even by someone who hasn't got a clue how table code works. Secondly, we have to consider the issue of accessibility. Unnecessarily locking away information in an image means screen readers will not be able to easily access it. A formatted table, though not as useful to someone who is blind as to those who are sighted, for example, can at least be read as text. -MissMJ (talk) 05:30, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
- If you want it as an editable SVG image, how about this? Image will help avoid the clutter of a table. – ∃ Aditya 7 ¦ 05:18, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
- Table is better for me on Wiki. Obviously if we were putting together an annual report or something then a finished image allows more prettiness. But this helps me if a year is off. Also, there are other articles with later generations of aircraft that would build off of this one (didn't want the later generations in this article, but A350 and A380 articles would have expanded tables.)TCO (talk) 05:34, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
Hey, TCO, I'm moving the discussion about the table changes from my talk page to here, so it can all be in a central place. I'm not sure what you mean about the "double-lining of the cell content" (the white borders, maybe? sadly the CSS wasn't doing what it should there), but once I centered it, it helped legibility to stretch the table, so I increased the width to 75%. -MissMJ (talk) 05:42, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
- Looks great! (I meant the line breaks within cells, but they're gone anyway, from what you did. ALL DONE! Merci beacoups!TCO (talk) 05:46, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
- I went and put a scoch more room in the left column as designation(s) was breaking into two lines.TCO (talk) 05:49, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
- Oh sorry, I have a really wide screen and my browser window ends up being really wide, so the table looked nice and airy from here. I forget that other people still have narrower screens. Oops. Marking this as resolved. :) -MissMJ (talk) 05:54, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

A diagram of national economies during the Great Depression
Article(s): Great Depression
Request: Due to colorblindness issues, I can't fully understand this image. Could someone please add the first letter of each country's name (or two, for US and UK) to the left end of each line? I could do this in Microsoft Paint, except if I were able to distinguish the colors properly, I wouldn't have realized that this image needed improvement. Nyttend (talk) 23:08, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
Graphist opinion(s):
Actually there is no need. Top to bottom order of lines at the very left of the graph matches with the top to bottom order of countries in the legend. OCK (t·c) 06:59, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
- When a colorblind person tells you that a diagram isn't legible, the correct response isn't "yes it is," it's to fix the diagram.
- I took NikNaks93's SVG and made the line differentiation more clear (no need to make the graph even busier by putting country labels next to the lines). Is this better, Nyttend? -MissMJ (talk) 22:15, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
I've converted it to an SVG and moved the labels to the lines themselves. I've also tried to fix the scale. NikNaks talk - gallery 15:59, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Graphist opinion(s): Request taken by Jovianeye.. Getty SVG
Done and is on commons. Regarding Crytek, it is recommended to leave the (R) as it is, since the logo is trademarked. --Jovian Eye talk 14:12, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
- The ® mark may be removed because it is not a part of the logo. The only thing we want in the image is the logo and not any description of the logo. The fact that it is trademarked is supposed to be indicated using Trademark or Trademarked or SVG logo on its file page. We cannot expect the readers to find if there is an unregistered trademark (™), registered trademark (®), unregistered service mark (℠) in the image, can we? —∃ Aaditya 7 18:34, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
- Regarding the registered and trademarked symbols, I think they should be retained. If the company has published the logo with these symbols next to it, then I feel they should be kept. (For more legal advice, I think it would be a good idea to ask Wikimedia's Legal Counsel) --Jovian Eye talk 18:46, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
